Ikan Kerapu Kukus (Steamed Fish)

This is a simple dish to prepare yet very delicious ! Very practical to those who work 9-5. Just get the fish ready marinated with all the ingredients, keep it in the fridge and when you're home put on the steamer and steam the fish for 15 -20 minutes. Or if you don't have steamer, you can steam the fish on top of the rice cooker, while cooking the rice! Two dishes is cooked at the same time. Isn't it easy ?
